Hi,

 

You can use the Network Map in LTM. There is a search option in Network Map. Type in the IP-address and click on Update Map. The item found is highlighted.

    Hi Martijn,

     

    Yes this is GUI way of finding and Yes its a great way to search a particular IP in VS,pools, irules etc. And results are handy too.

     

    But I've had experience where the GUI takes lot of time in loading :) Sometimes the configuration utility time outs too. Nothing is better than a console, from my point of view.
